Fairey Firefly built by Ralph Dietrich of Nuernberg, Germany

Ralph did a fabulous job of painting and weathering his Firefly! His Firefly is powered by a brushless Tornado 22xx motor and 8 KAN1050 cells. Ralph reports flight times of 8 to 12 minutes.

Check out Ralph's web site where you can see more photos of the Firefly in action.

Bf 109 built by John Frost of Northwood, NH

John built it a tad bit lighter than suggested (10 oz.) because he has a limited flying field and has to keep them light. John says it "Flies excellent even at the lighter weight. Very nice kit by the way!!"

Specifications:

• AUW : 10 ozs.
• Covered with clear doculam and airbrushed with model master acrylics .
• Medusa Research Lab 4100 kv 12mm brushless w/ GWS S1 IPS Gearbox
• GWS 9 X 7 SF prop which draws 4.8 amps static from the little Medusa brushless
• Castle Creations Phoenix 10 controller
• 2 GWS Pico servos
• 6C 350 mah battery from CheapBatteryPacks.com ( Soon to be updated to a higher capacity lipoly )

Bf 109 built by Greg Beshouri and Geoff Ashton

Geoff built the kit and Greg painted it to represent a "Mersu" of the Finnish Air Force as it appeared in the summer of 1944. Nice work, guys!

Power is provided by a Mega 16/15/5 with a APC 7x5e prop with a 3s1p 2100 LiPo.

Here's Greg's flight report: "With ... a 5/8 throttle launch the plane was very stable and nice looking! Minimal trim was required. Beautiful loops and rolls. Looks best just zooming in at low level."
